How to be a balanced Student.

S

ome students say, " I just want to get good grades and then graduate with very high points".
My answer, a simple and emphatic No!. Why, that's not how balanced students think. Balanced students are very good in class and also engage in extra-curricular activities. They join student competitions, sports,etc. They gain scholarships. Did I just say that? yes, I did.

First of all, information about scholarships are virtually
everywhere. You find them on the internet, on school notice boards, hear
friends talk about them.

Now, I don't blame you if you haven't got one but I just want to
help you make use of this great opportunity.

Some people don't get scholarships because of the following
reasons

1) They weren't informed when the Scholarship was out. You can
avoid this by simply subscribing to a good scholarship site ( add a link to the
homepage here). When you've done this, there's no need to go searching for
scholarships anymore. The site you subscribed to, sends you alerts and this
makes life easier. All you've got to do is check your mail regularly and
register for them after you've checked that you satisfy their requirements.

3) Quite a few number of scholars still believe that
scholarships are for the elites, the rich, those who have" the right
connections ". This believe is not true. Times have changed. Student sponsorship are awarded by merit so if you think you've got the guts to
compete with others, it's free. Just get registered and you're in.

Remember that sharing is caring. Spread the word.

Being a great scholar isn't about academics alone. You've got to engage in extra-curricular activities, sports, competitions, innovation awards,etc
